Chapter 492 Conspiracy

Kent's words made Thor look a little uneasy.

He put his hand down, turned around and walked towards the stairwell.

"If Char is sure that I can't come back, then his attack will definitely target my residence. I want to go back and take a look."

Kent followed closely behind Thor.

"I'll go with you."

Morton deliberately lagged behind Kent, but the four wizards who came in with Kent did not follow him, as they seemed to have their own tasks.

After entering the stairwell, Thor did not start running. He glanced at the thick branches that occupied the left passage and walked up steadily.

As he moved, the branches next to him grew synchronously.

"Is this plant some kind of 4th level sorcery? Dean Pound is here too?"

"No. The dean will not leave the academy easily. This is a witchcraft scroll made by the dean himself, Giant Tree Growth. Although the power is not as strong as when the dean casts it himself, it is enough to seal off the entire building."

"What do you think the source of the pollution is?"

"I don't know. There are all kinds of things in this world. You can only understand the real source of pollution by seeing it."

Saul was silent.

They walked up six flights of stairs, but still had ten flights to reach Thor's room.

The spiral staircase seems to have no end, and the consistent picture from top to bottom gives an illusion of overlapping time and space.

"Wizard Thor, I wonder how Wizard Char tricked you into going out to find him?" Kent suddenly spoke.

"He said... you were secretly cultivating evil spirits that specifically killed those who wanted to leave the city."

Kent laughed so hard that his shoulders shook. "Hahaha, so it's not me. If I wanted to cultivate evil spirits, I wouldn't have to do this. Aren't the evil spirits naturally born in this city enough for me to use?"

Saul was silent.

Kent glanced at Morton who had been watching him cautiously from behind, and asked Thor, "Well, Char must have woven a terrible scene for you, tricking you into cooperating with him to investigate me in order to protect yourself, right?"

"Almost." Thor's attention didn't seem to be on Kent. His pace gradually slowed down, and even the branches growing around him had surpassed him.

"I'm a little curious about how Char lies. Does he describe some scary or strange scenes? For example... a person standing upside down or something?"

…

Meanwhile, Char and Julie are running wildly in an underground garbage disposal plant.

Julie was in a disheveled state at this time, and her skin was no longer as smooth as before.

She complained, "I really shouldn't have believed you."

While keeping an eye on his surroundings, Xia retorted to Julie, "Come on, you are different from Thor. You have lived here for seven or eight years. The reason you agreed to come here this time must be because you discovered something too!"

Julie bit her lip. "I don't know anything!"

After running for a few minutes, the two came to a dead end. There was no way to leave upwards, and the rustling sound behind them was getting closer and closer.

Julie shook her white hair and finally became anxious. "Aren't you the best at running away? Come up with a plan!"

"Strange, there is obviously a small exit here." Xia ignored Julie and just stared at the wall in front of him in a daze.

"How did you plan your moves beforehand?" Julie complained, staring nervously behind her.

"I didn't expect... Kent's methods were so powerful." Xia's eyes rolled around, as if he was thinking about how to escape.

He suddenly looked at Julie beside him and murmured, "Could it be that Saul didn't come this time because he noticed something? That shouldn't be the case. He has only been here for a few months. How could he know more than me?"

"How much do you think Thor knows?"

"I think..." Xia Ya was about to answer, but suddenly realized that the person who had just spoken was not Julie at all.

At this moment, Julie was looking at the road they came from with a look of horror on her face.

An old man with white hair and holding a wooden stick as tall as a person walked out of the passage slowly and stood in front of Xia Ya and Julie.

"Dean Pound?" Julie opened her mouth in disbelief.

Char, on the other hand, didn't look that surprised.

"Hello, Wizard Julie. Wizard Char doesn't seem too surprised. Did you know that I was behind Kent?"

Char licked his dry lips, took two steps back, and leaned his back against the wall that had inexplicably lost its escape route.

"I don't know. I just thought at first that even if Kent wanted a large number of evil spirits, he wouldn't need to cultivate them in secret, considering his status as the actual organizer of the Sweepers. And evil spirits can't be absorbed directly, so he doesn't need that many."

Xia looked at Dean Pound and smiled bitterly, "Now I understand. If it is Baidong College that needs evil spirits, then no matter how many evil spirits there are, it may not be enough."

Julie's hair was shaking with fear.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

She dared to join Char and secretly investigate the Kent wizard, but she didn't dare to confront the second-level wizard Pound.

She is not one of those crazy mentors in the wizard tower who actually wants to assassinate a second-level wizard.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Pang De raised his hand, and a white rose suddenly bloomed on the tip of the wooden stick he held. "You are all honorary mentors of the academy, and I am not a murderer. Since you have discovered this secret, you can officially join Baidong Academy as a mentor."

Julie felt relieved. She secretly released the seven-color halo, but there was no black color representing murderous intent or gray color representing deception on Dean Pound.

In other words, if she agreed to officially join Baidong College as a mentor, then she could survive.

To become a formal mentor, one must sign a contract. Other mentors keep the contents of the contract confidential, but the conditions in it are obviously not too lenient.

However, compared to death, temporary loss of freedom is still acceptable.

Julie immediately raised the corners of her stiff mouth, "That's great, Dean, I'm willing to join."

But Xia was not so obedient.

"Dean Pound, we only discovered the place where Kent cultivated evil spirits, and we didn't notice what happened in the academy..."

Pound didn't even give Xia a chance to finish his words. "Become a formal instructor at the academy, or try to escape?"

Char's begging expression immediately disappeared, "I know that the development of Archaster City to its current scale is all your conspiracy. Let me join? Do you think I haven't discovered that the official mentor... Anyway, I don't care how you want to play, and I won't accompany you!"

As Char spoke, one of his hands was tightly grasping his collar.

And when he said he would not accompany you, his chest suddenly flashed a few times.

Dean Pang De's expression darkened. Just as he raised his wooden staff a little, he saw Xia Ya in front of him suddenly glowing all over. Then, the whole person seemed to be burned to ashes by the light emanating from his body and disappeared on the spot.

"Space teleportation array?" Pound said silently.

Julie was also stunned. "He actually hid the teleportation array on his body? Isn't he afraid of attracting monsters from the space gap?"

"It's worth taking a low-probability risk of death for a high-probability risk of death. Sometimes, I still admire Char." Dean Pound looked at the place where Char disappeared without showing any surprise or disappointment, "But he forgot one thing."

"...What?" Julie hugged her chest. She felt that the dean paused deliberately because he wanted her to ask questions.

"In the face of absolute strength, running away is useless." Dean Pound smiled with satisfaction.
